Matching jowels

(I'm referring to the T-shirt!) :-)

Grandma Julie

Craig's mom came into town just after the holidays for a quick visit. Now, Miles only has Mimi (my stepmom) left to meet!

Two months

I'll be moving to this format very soon-monthly, instead of weekly photos.

Nana comes to town

My mom finally made it out to visit! She was here for Christmas week and we thoroughly enjoyed having her around for baby holding. She was a great lap for baby naps. I'll miss her help! Interestingly, she had a job interview while her and was offered the position. So, she has a lot of planning and organizing to work on. We want her to move out here...so, keep your eye on the prize Nana. If you get discouraged, see below.

Holding our breath

Two friends of ours have come to our aid. Russin lent us a different car seat to try and Suzi lent us the warm fuzzy wrap you see on it. So far, the two seem to be working. The car seat has a deeper seat and easier straps to adjust. The amazing thing, the crying fits have decreased dramatically. In fact, (knock on wood) they are almost non-existent. We can even put him in it while he's awake without any screaming. I don't know if you can fully appreciate how amazing and wonderful this is. For the first time, I can actually imagine leaving the house. Yes, leaving the house. For walks, appointments, whatever! We'll never know if it was coincidental timing and he was actually on the verge of liking his other car seat, but I am not about to tempt fate. As far as I'm concerned, this car seat is magic. Pure, unadulterated magic.

Merry Christmas

Eight week redo

Okay, so I realized, the whole, entire reason I chose this chair for weekly photos was to have a frame of reference for size. Ha. So, what do I do? I ended up cropping the shots so they only showed the baby. I blame lack of sleep. Anyway, going forward, I will be showing the chair. How else will we know how big he's getting? Of course, now I'm stuck with this chair if I want to continue the plan....hmmm..
